The episodes that are good are very good. The episodes that talk about how many bangers Ben Affleck has made in a row are very bad. A pod that mostly makes you very glad you aren’t spending your life making hot garbage.

Especially enjoying the BTS content of GG Hawkins film.

I just finished listening to the recent Blacklist episode. Enjoyed it overall but Jason Hellerman needs to let the guest finish speaking.

Too much personal opinion on politics.

First time reviewer. I’m a working screenwriter (who didn’t go to film school), and I’m constantly turning to this podcast to improve my craft—and expand my horizons on all things film. They never disappoint and offer up incredible advice while keeping a tone that’s grounded and approachable. I...Read full review »

The episode how do you pitch your film had nothing to do with how to pitch.

Went back to listen to the John Carroll Lynch episode to prep for an interview with him and it was great!
MegaPhilip via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/16/24
Your podcast is the one thing during the week that I can always take something away from listening. It’s just a breath of fresh air, it’s honest talk and it inspires me sometimes when I don’t want to do the work. Thank you for thinking like a filmmaker, relating to us like a filmmaker, but most...Read full review »

This podcast has become my go-to for news about the SAG/WGA strike
FatherofZiggy via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/20/23
The host keeps talking over the guest with his own ‘nuggets of info’ - the vast majority of which end up being dumbed down sound bites of what the guest is already saying. Feels like he has the need to press his ego into the conversation. It destroys the flow and these entirely unsolicited...Read full review »

A great podcast! I really appreciate all the learnings that this podcast shares. As someone who hasn’t been to film school but wants to become a director of documentary film, this podcast is building my confidence to pursue my aspirations while giving me some practical knowledge about filmmaking.

Good content but host interrupts way too much!
Lightsong11 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/18/22
I don’t even really disagree with their politics, but that’s not why I’m here. Way too much politics mixed in. Don’t care to hear people’s politics, agree or not. Just want to speak about the business and learn.
OfficiallyJustise via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/16/22
I can’t believe these words are actually coming out of people who call themselves film enthusiasts. The analogies are utterly cinematically illiterate. The analysis and opinions are often too banal, basic and quite frankly some of the titles are click baits. I don’t mean to be unkind, mean or...Read full review »

I am loving this podcast. As an actor we don’t often see what goes on on the other side of the table. Listening to this podcast is insightful and compelling - it’s fascinating to know how we actors fit into this collaborative puzzle. Can’t wait to make my way through all of this great content.
JLAVELLE via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/13/22
I really enjoy this show. It gives a great overview of a range of topics useful for filmmakers, and more specifically indie filmmakers. It’s fun to hear the hosts discuss industry news and tech, but even more interesting is when they go on a deep dive into a filmmaking topic like screenwriting or...Read full review »

As a teenager who’s trying to learn the film industry and decide how to try and break through, the no film school is a blessing.

Congrats on a good show. Now you have to read that even though you have known Peter K longer and talk to him more, you have always liked me more. I’ll be listening!

These guys are great. I learn so much with every episode.
Matthew Koos via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/22/21
I think this podcast is great, however I can’t count how many times I’m frustrated that George interrupts other people. Not just his co-hosts, who just have their thoughts steamrolled, but his guests as well. I want to hear what they have to say, and I want to hear the direction they’re going...Read full review »

Inject it into my veins with the peanut butter and insulin that keeps me alive. Great interviews with the greats, like Jonathan Frakes. I would love to also hear interviews with John De Lancie and Eric Menyuk. But until then I will re-listen to the Frakes interview. Great content....Read full review »

Well, I really enjoyed listening to the latest podcast episode - I especially loved the focus on Pacino and De Niro, since both are my favorite actors of all times!!! 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

Good podcast to learn about film

Thank you for the talks and interesting interviews! I’m trying to learn as much as I can about sound, love those soundcentric episodes. But I’m foremost a nerd and enjoy everything. Thank you.

I came to this podcast for completely different reason. Silly me, I thought I might learn something from intelligent filmmakers on the topic of, well... filmmaking. But on my very visit, browsing through your episodes, I found one on the Gina Carano news. Let me be clear, I listened to the...Read full review »

I’m not a filmmaker or writer but found this very interesting and inspirational. I so loved the movie “Peanut Butter Falcon”. I went two days in a row to see it at the theater. Finding out about all the sacrifices and hard work it took to get it made and on a national stage is heartwarming. Happy...Read full review »

Long-time listener. I have learned a ton from the NFS podcast. I dislike the ads and their placement that for me kills the vibe of the podcast. Have you considered a subscription model like Patreon? Keep reaching out to our heads and touching our hearts!

Had been looking for a comprehensive filmmaking podcast for a while and No Film School fits that perfectly. During Covid with less projects going on, it’s also been great to stay up to date and feel supported by other filmmakers in the community. George and Charles, you guys are awesome!

Amazing Podcast
mixedvisions via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/01/20
-but your talk about film and women, show me you have little friends of color. Your concerns are white and fearful without looking at a larger paradigm. Screw your menial seminars. Stop being racist and bring people of color into your work.

Theres just too much rambling and it feels like there was never a real plan of content flow
Chris_In_Vancouver via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/08/20
The show has consistently been great for years. But the new host may just be the best change they made. Extremely excited for future episodes.

Full of useful information and very entertaining.

I have subscribed to six filmmaking and camera equipment podcasts over the past 3 years and especially enjoy the recent new format hosted by Charles Haines.

Love the show! Sometimes when Im listening theres a weird echo like a bleed or delay where I can hear the start of a sentence twice? Might wanna look at your effects chain or track alignment
evanmainrocks via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/05/19
I enjoy listening to NFS podcast because I get to learn about film without having to stare at a screen. I don't generally listen to podcasts, but NFS got me convinced. Keep it up!Read full review »

Finally the weekly podcast has returned! But, it needs more people in the booth or maybe rotating hosts - one person talking isn't as entertaining or interesting as an ensemble!Read full review »

Getting in the habit of listening to the NFS podcast on my way to work has easily made Mondays and Thursdays my favorite days of the week.

Good info, but the shows are waaaay too long. Make your podcast in bite size chunks. Keep the show to 20 minutes.
JaredTraum via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/09/18
I listened to the first podcast that came up and I learned more from that 30min than I’ve learned in whole years or at least it was more valuable than a lot of things I’ve already learned. I’m no big filmmaker, in fact I’m pretty young, but I’ve been at it for a while and this will for sure help...Read full review »
